Ernest Hemingway sat down with George Plimpton (yeah, that George Plimpton) in the 1950s for what was probably the definitive interview of an artist. Hemingway discusseed why he rewrote so much, and gave a rare insider’s view of the creative process for the Paris Review. It’s a long piece, but well worth your time. http://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/4825/the-art-of-fiction-no-21-ernest-hemingway ###
